Chapter 1182 - Preemptive Strike (6)

At one o'clock in the afternoon of 15 December, just after the meeting held by the Central Party Department ended, He Jinhan and Deng Wenyi immediately rushed back to the headquarters of the Chaotian Palace Lixing Society. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It has been three days since the Xi'an Incident, but the opinions within the Lixing Society have not been unified. After the incident, Dai Li, who was still under the direct leadership of the Lixing Society, immediately passed the news to Deng Wenyi, the secretary of the Lixing Society. Deng Wenyi had just returned from Xi'an, and his first reaction after receiving the news was disbelief, he and Yan Daogang had been monitoring Zhang Yang for half a year, and decided that Zhang Xueliang would not have the courage to do so, but after that, as various information from Xi'an continued to be delivered, Deng Wenyi finally determined that Chiang Kai-shek had an accident.

Deng Wenyi has no master of the six gods, and the first thing that comes to mind is his fate and future. Previously, he had sworn to Chiang Kai-shek that there would be no problems with security, and who would have thought that such a major event would happen not long after he returned to Nanjing. Deng Wenyi urgently needed the advice of the military advisor, and made a phone call to He Jinhan, the soul of the Lixing Society.

As one of the three heroes of Huangpu, it stands to reason that He Jinhan has no problem in terms of ability, but the strange thing is that He Jinhan has never been able to be reused by Chiang Kai-shek, although he has successively served as the director of the "Propaganda Department for the Suppression of Bandits of the General Headquarters of the Army, Navy and Air Force," the director of the "Xingzi Training Institute," the director of the "Political Training Division of the Suppression of Bandits in Henan, Hubei and Anhui Provinces," the director of the "Political Training Office of the Military Commission," and the propaganda director of the "Nanchang Xingying," the chairman of the Military Commission, he has never been able to grasp the military and political power, not to mention graduating from the fourth phase of Huangpu, not to mention graduating from An Yi, the fourth phase of Whampoa, the Standing Committee of the Military Commission, which holds a strong foundation in the southwest and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, is not as good as Hu Zongnan, Guan Linzheng and other generals who command the army.

The occurrence of the Xi'an incident made He Zhenhan, who had long been ambitious, feel his heart beating faster and realize that his opportunity had come. After he rushed to the headquarters of the Lixing Society, he immediately suggested that Deng Wenyi convene a meeting of all the cadres of the Lixing Society to study and discuss how to deal with the incident. Deng Wenyi was as good as a stream, and quickly issued a convening order to the backbone of the Lixing Society distributed throughout the country. It's a pity that at this time, the Lixing Society has long lost its original intention when it was founded, the bureaucratic style is fully revealed, when the telegram is transmitted, many local dignitaries are not in the local branches (provincial level) to sit down, these have solemnly sworn in front of the Kuomintang party flag will be honest and honest all their lives and self-denial of the backbone of the Lixing Society, or at home holding a beautiful wife and concubine arbitrarily**, or lingering in the Willow Lane Casino on Flower Street, or running around for money outside, so that after two days, it was not until yesterday that it was convened.

During this period, Deng Wenyi and He Jinhan went to He Yingqin's mansion many times to ask him about his views on the current situation, and unconsciously reached a tacit understanding with He Yingqin.

Yesterday morning, there was a meeting within the Lixing Society, and as soon as everyone met, Gui Yongqing, Liu Jianqun, Pan Youqiang, Gan Guoxun and other members of the Lixing Society were full of righteous indignation and angrily reprimanded Zhang Yang's rude behavior. After the meeting began, He Jinhan pointed out in simple terms: The chairman of the committee has been put to death, Zhang Xueliang has long colluded with the committee, and the Xi'an incident occurred under the instigation of the committee, and the chairman will definitely not be let go.

Liu Jianqun confirmed He Jinhan's view, saying that during the period when he followed Deng Wenyi to spy on Zhang Yang in Xi'an, Li Tiancai, one of Zhang Xueliang's main aides, once jokingly said to himself that Deputy Commander Zhang was about to become "red." It seems that this incident was not a whim, but a premeditated one, and the chairman of the committee was in danger, and it was even possible that he had died at the hands of the rebels at this moment.

He Zhenhan and Liu Jianqun's words made the hearts of the generals of the Lixing Society, you must know that it is with the strong support of Chairman Jiang that the Lixing Society has flourished in the past few years, and has rapidly established branches and branches at all levels throughout the country, and now has millions of party members, and has a lot of influence in the military and political circles. Once Chairman Chiang died, the future of the Lixing Society was uncertain with the new leader coming to power.

He Jinhan understood what everyone's worries were, and said that the chairman of the committee was in trouble, and we, who are deeply trusted by the chairman, should not stand idly by, but should stand up and take active action to rescue the chairman, put down the rebellion, and stabilize the country. He Jinhan had just wanted to set the tone for the meeting, when Dai Li's assistant hurriedly walked into the conference room and brought the two major news of Feng Qinya, the commander of the Yang Hucheng Division in Weinan, leading his troops to raise the uprising, and the editorial of the Soviet Union's Pravda openly criticizing the Zhang Yang incident.

He Jinhan and Deng Wenyi saw that the meeting couldn't go on, and He Yingqin called to summon them, so they ended the meeting, first went to their ally He Yingqin to have a look, and then integrated the thoughts of the Lixing Society after they came back.

Now that the night has passed, the Central Committee has made a decision, and the actions of the Lixing Society have legal support, He Jinhan firmly believes that he has taken another step towards his ideals.

Soon, the members of the Lixing Club gathered again in the conference room of the headquarters of the Lixing Club, and a meeting related to the life and death of the Lixing Club was held.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at the just-concluded Central Committee meeting, the strategy of attacking Xi'an by force has been formalized. Where do we go from here, and we hope to work together and quickly come up with a charter! Deng Wenyi took the lead in saying.

"We, the Lixing Society, should immediately send troops to respond to the call of the central government."

Gui Yongqing immediately stood up, glanced at everyone, and said resolutely: "As early as the day after the Xi'an Incident, I summoned all the officers and men of the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps to announce the news that the officers and men above the battalion commander level of the whole corps collectively demanded to attack Xi'an and rescue the principal. I decided that after the meeting was dismissed, I would lead my troops across the river to set an example for the whole army in the country. ”

The Central Military Academy's teaching corps has a strength of 15,000 people, and is fully equipped with German armaments, armored vehicles and light tanks, and is trained under the guidance of German instructors.

He Jinhan nodded: "Yes, most of the generals of the Huangpu lineage who are leading troops in various places have some relationship with our Lixing Society, and we can ask Wang Jingjiu's 87th Division and Song Xilian's 36th Division to follow in the name of Lixing Society, and then let Hu Zongnan storm Xi'an, I am not afraid that we will not be able to save the chairman." ”

Dai Li, who had not spoken and listened silently, stood up stubbornly: "Zhang and Yang have a total of more than 300,000 troops, you must not underestimate it, if the war breaks out and endangers the safety of the chairman, how can you be embarrassed?" I still think it is better to postpone the march of troops, and this incident is best resolved by peaceful means. ”

There was a sudden mutiny in Xi'an, Dai Li was guilty of negligence, and Dai Li was terrified whether Lao Jiang or his successor would hold him accountable in the future. Therefore, in the past few days, he has not expressed any opinions, except for the continuous delivery of information, the rest of the time is calmly thinking about his future. Fortunately, An Yi contacted him in time yesterday, and Dai Li, who suddenly received strong reinforcements, had a plan in his heart, so he gave different views in the fanatical condemnation of everyone.

Deng Wenyi waved his hand: "Yunong don't need to worry, although Zhang and Yang are heavy, they need to garrison Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai and other huge territories, at present, there are only more than 100,000 people in Xi'an. ”

Pan Youqiang, a first-term student of Huangpu and the current director of the Xingzi Special Training Class of the Central Military Academy, suggested that "there is some shortage in terms of troops, so that the Guan Lin Expedition Department near Shaanxi can cooperate with Hu Zongnan to besiege Xi'an, and if it still cannot form an advantage in troops, it can also be transferred to the second division of Zheng Dongguo in Xuzhou to rush to help." Xiao Shao, Xiao Zuolin, your Henan Lixing Society branch must fully cooperate with the encirclement and suppression of Zhang Yang, and strive to encourage Liu Jingfu to send troops together, so that nothing goes wrong. ”

Xiao Sa and Xiao Zuolin hurriedly stood up and said that they would start their work as soon as they went back.

There was a lot of discussion in the conference room, but except for Dai Li's doubts, the rest were the sound of the main battle, which made He Jinhan and Deng Wenyi deeply satisfied. However, He Jinhan's ambition was far more than that, and seeing that no one questioned it, he coughed lightly and threw out his main purpose:

"Ladies and gentlemen, while rescuing the principal, you can't neglect the political stability of the whole country. We are the students of the president, and we should take the initiative to share the worries of the president, and we should take active action now to formulate relevant policies and measures to prevent the ideological confusion of local officials and generals in various localities and the cause of local turmoil. Only a stable and united rear can vigorously support the front-line war and give Zhang Yang a great deterrent. ”

The participants nodded again and again, Deng Wenyi said with a smile: "Now in most areas of the country, we have branches of the Lixing Society, and each branch also has a special task force under its jurisdiction, which has extensive influence on governments at all levels in various places, and at the same time, we also have the power to mobilize local garrisons to cooperate with the special operation team, in my opinion, as long as Jiangnan, Lianghu, Yuhuai and other places are firmly controlled in our hands, then the Lixing Society has the hope of becoming the largest political force in the party-state, and even establishing a central government with the backbone of the Lixing Society as the pillar!" ”

He Zhenhanzhi said proudly: "Nanjing is the capital of the Republic of China, and we have the support of tens of thousands of teachers and students of the Central Military Academy here, the elite 87th Division adapted from the 1st Division of the former Guard Army, the Military Police Regiment of Ji Jianzhang, and the 36th Division of Song Xilian stationed in Wuhu. Please keep in mind that at this critical moment, Nanjing is not controlled by other forces, but by our Lixing Society. ”

There was a frenzy in the conference room, and everyone consciously ignored Gu Zhenglun, the commander of the capital garrison who had 11 military police regiments and had a vacillating position, and felt that the good situation in which the Lixing Society controlled the central government and held the authority of the whole country was just around the corner.

At this time, Zheng Jiemin, a second-stage student of Huangpu and currently serving as Dai Li's deputy, suddenly asked, "I don't know if you have consulted An Yi's opinion?" He sits in the southwest, is rich and rivals, plus the surrounding allies, and has an army of 500,000 troops, if he opposes military conquest, how can we deal with ourselves? ”

"This—"

He Jinhan shuddered for no reason, and suddenly thought that it had been so long since the Xi'an Incident, and An Yi, who was in North China, had not even had the slightest news, which was very abnormal. According to the secret report, An Yi's two wives rushed to Nanjing as early as the day after the incident to accompany Song Meiling, and also sent his most beloved eldest sister Gong Qian to Song Meiling's side.

Deng Wenyi was stunned when he saw He Zhenhan, and hurriedly explained: "Senior Brother An is also our Huangpu comrade, and he is also the initiator and early main officer of the Lixing Society, which can be regarded as our core leader, and will not turn a blind eye to the principal falling into the hands of Zhang Yang, let alone oppose the collective decision of the Lixing Society." In addition, we have the righteousness of the central government, and Senior Brother An is a person who takes the overall situation into account, and he knows that the top priority is to deal with Japan's pressing step by step, and North China is inseparable from him, so he should understand our suffering. ”

Deng Wenyi's words, although they did not completely dispel the concerns of the participants, were enough to make a group of crazy people who wanted to take the position lose all their minds, and soon a series of resolutions were released.
